💧 Heavy Duty Square Body 1/4 Turn Angle Shut Off Valve, 1/2 in. NOM Comp Inlet x 3/8 in. OD Compression Outlet, Chrome Plated Brass (5 Pack) Review

I think all 5 star reviews are written by people who don't check them very carefully. Of the 6 I received, 3 didn't open fully, restricting water flow.

As they were sold as a pack of five I'm sticking with them, including three more that I dare not use let alone buy a replacement. Update: PTFE tape fixed a valve. Tightening another…

While I'm not a plumber, I've replaced about 15-20 toilet, sink, and dishwasher valves in my current and previous homes, so I'm not new to this. I can't judge "Heavy Mode", but I measured "Heavy". I put one of these and a similar BrassCraft (G2CR19X) on a kitchen scale with no compression fittings. This valve weighed 87g and the BrassCraft…
